Father arrested for murdering his three children

A 33-year-old man has been arrested on Thursday night for murdering his three young children following a domestic violence incident involving his wife.

Sacramento resident, Robert Hodges, was taken into custody by California Highway Patrol officers who pulled him over just after midnight on Thursday.

Only hours earlier police were called to an apartment complex in West Sacramento for a domestic violence incident. While on their way to the apartment the officers received a second call, alerting them that the children in the apartment were possibly dead.
